Monthly State of the Market Report 3 June 2010
Executive Summary
The average electricity price (LIP) in the SPP Energy Imbalance Service market for June
2010 was $33.05/MWh, an increase of 19% from May 2010. During the same period, gas
cost at the Panhandle hub increased by 16% ($3.91 to $4.52/MMBtu). The SPP LIP
continues to closely correlate changes in gas cost, as shown in the supplemental chart that has
been added at the bottom of Figure 5 showing LIP and gas cost since implementation of the
EIS market in February 2007.
In Figure 7a, a 12-month Price Duration curve has been added to the report. The price
duration curve charts the SPP load-weighted average LIP over the 12 months from high to
low. The graph shows that 97.4% of SPP load-weighted hourly LIP values occur inside a
range of 2 standard deviations from average. (Normally distributed, approximately 95% of
all data points should fall inside of this 2 standard deviation range.) This indicates that SPP
hourly LIPs are normally distributed with an appropriate number values outside of this range.
Overall congestion was down for June with decreases in both breached and binding intervals
(Figure 4) from last month as well as June in previous years. The impact of congestion on
LIP was also lower in June as evidenced by the highest average hourly shadow price in the
month of $24.63 (Figure 2), which is roughly one-third of the highest from both last month
and one year ago.
Areas seeing the most localized congestion during June (Figure 1 & 2) were:
1. NE Kansas
2. NW Missouri
3. SW Kansas
4. Shreveport area
Most of the congestion can be attributed to either planned or unplanned line outages, or
heavier flows due to typical summer-time demand.
Wind capacity factor remained high for June at 39%, compared to 29% last June. Since June
2009, wind capacity has increased by 16%, while wind generation increased by 53%.
During June 2010, the SPP EIS Market experienced the highest generation totals since the
start of the EIS market (Figure 9). An all-time high for peak load in the market footprint was
experienced on June 22. (This peak has not been adjusted to account for expansion of the
market footprint that occurs with the addition of new market participants.)

(115) ftlo Hitch – Potter South (345) [SECI]
$ 19.68 8.4% Temporary added to control overloading on 115 kV Holcomb – Plymell. Increaasing wind output and
imports adds to existing N-S flow in western Kansas. HOLPLYHOLSPE

Other
TEMP08_16410
Chamber Springs –
Farmington (161) ftlo Tontitown – Dyess (345)

possible work around, opening breakers at Chambers
Springs to relieve loading.
OSGCANBUSDEA Osage Switch - Canyon East (115) ftlo Bushland -
Deaf Smith (230) [SPS] $ 7.15 8.4%
Formerly known as TEMP01_15940. Congestion due to high N-S flow. Breaches generally occur in this area

outages along with limited transmission capability available.
REDWILLMINGO Red Willow – Mingo (345)
[NPPD – SECI] $ 6.59 7.4%

The 95% range indicates 2 standard deviations for the mean (average) LIP for the 12
month period. Assuming a normal distribution, approximately 95% of hourly LIP values
should occur inside of this range. Having 97.4% of instances occur inside of this range
indicates that SPP Hourly LIPs are distributed as should be expected with an appropriate
number of hourly LIP values outside of this range.

Note: This table is a “rough comparison” because of inherent differences in the structure of the three markets and also because of the differences in how prices for SPP, MISO, and ERCOT are calculated. For SPP, load weighted averages are used, while the data from MISO and ERCOT are not load weighted. Volatility is measured by the Coefficient of Variation, which is the standard deviation across all hours divided by the average of all hours.

Note:
During non-congested periods, one resource sets the price for the entire market. During congested
periods, the market is effectively segmented into several sub-areas, each with its own marginal
resource. Each congested interval counts the same as a non-congested period, but the marginal fuel
type for each sub-area is represented proportionally in the congested period.

EIS (Energy Imbalance Charge/Credit) – All energy deviations between actual generation or load and schedules are settled as (EIS).
O/S (Over-Scheduling Charge) - During any hour, if Locational Imbalance Prices diverge and a Market Participant’s Load imbalance is more than 4% (but at least 2 MW) at an applicable Settlement Location in that hour, that MP may be subject to an Over-Scheduling Charge.
U/S (Under-Scheduling Charge) - During any hour, if Locational Imbalance Prices diverge and a Market Participant’s Load imbalance is more than 4% (but at least 2 MW) at an applicable Settlement Location in that hour, that MP may be subject to an Under-Scheduling Charge.
UDC (Uninstructed Resource Deviation) – the difference between the dispatch instructions and the actual performance of a Resource.
SP Loss - Self-Provided Losses
